There can be few doubts when it comes to evaluating and choosing the best player of this La Liga season.

It was the champions' star man who unsurprisingly came out on top. The football world has been waxing lyrical over Lionel Messi once again with a staggering 43 goals and 29 assists during his side's title-winning campaign, returning to the statistics from previous years that saw him crowned the best player in the world.

Beyond the figures, 'La Pulga' has become a complete footballer. In recent months, he has become more influential all over the pitch, rather than just in the final third. The Argentine has added the ability to create openings in midfield to his already extensive repertoire. His outstanding, precise passing ability has helped the team overcome an array of resistant opposition defences throughout the campaign.

José Luis Gayà scooped the breakthrough player of the season award as voted for by MARCA.com users. The full-back is Valencia's new gem and has earned himself a bolstered contract extension with the club. After catching the eye of clubs such as Real Madrid, the 20-year-old committed his future to 'Los Ché' meaning the Mestalla faithful will be able to continue enjoying his tireless running and pinpoint crosses next season and beyond.
